With the Home button gone, do we need to get something like a freaking Lightning to Home Button Adapter kinda like this?

Look.

No one’s blaming you for asking these questions, when in fact, Apple’s the one that has not been entirely giving these answers.

That’s why this guide intends to help you answer some of those earlier questions which you’ve might had, before you get yourself into learning the ropes of iOS 11 and getting around understanding how your iPhone X truly works.

You can skip straight to the steps on how to take a screenshot on iPhone X if you’re as impatient as me. 🙂

But first …

Will Screenshots Have that Ugly Notch In it?

Currently as of now (where the iPhone X have not been released yet), we’re unsure on how screenshots will turn out and whether they would feature the notch in it as well.

But there are two possibilities on how it could play out:

1.Based on the iPhone X Simulator this is what it currently has to offer:

The current iPhone X screenshots generated by this are not suitable for any marketing or press kits. It just looks so wrong. pic.twitter.com/CSZodHfXqk

Whichever way it might turn out to be, one thing is for sure and that is that there is still time until October 27th for Apple to address to these questions.

But for now both you and I, we really need to wait and see.

How to Take a Screenshot on iPhone X: 3 Steps

Step 1: Go ahead and open the screen that you wanna take a picture of.

Step 2: Perfect? Great! Now all that you have to do is just press and hold the Side button (the one which is on your right hand side of your iPhone)

Step 3: Whilst at the same time tap on your Volume Up button (the one which is on your left hand side of your iPhone).

Voila!

Since you’re iPhone X is on iOS 11,you can actually look at how your Screenshot turned out rather than as the usual tedious way of opening your Photos app and then scrolling through until your find your Screenshot.

Oh there’s another way.

You can also use your AssistiveTouch on to take a screenshot on iPhone X.

Step 3: Now scroll down until you see AssistiveTouch. Tap on AssistiveTouch and then turn it on.

Step 6:If you do see the Screenshot icon then you can skip to Step 7. If don’t see Screenshot as an icon in there then all you have to do is just tap on + to add a new icon box.

Step 7: Tap on your new icon box and then from the list scroll down until you find Screenshot. Tap Screenshot.

Step 8: Now all that you have to do is tap on that little floating home button-like thing you have on your screen, on the screen that you wanna take a picture of and then tap Screenshot.

That’s it! 🙂
